OIL-BASED MUDS
Oil-Based Muds Maximize Performance
Oil-based muds provide numerous benefits to enhance drilling efficiency with minimal maintenance. They are inherently lubricious and inhibitive, maximizing drilling rates with superior tolerance to contaminants. Oil-based mud systems are optimized for superior performance and cost efficiency.
WATER-BASED MUDS
From Spud Muds to Reservoir Drill-In Fluids and Everything in Between
Water-based muds offer a wide variety of options, from low-cost and basic to highly inhibitive, performance-driven systems. AES Drilling Fluids provides the flexibility to design the most cost-effective system for the formation and a full suite of performance additives, including lubricants and shale inhibitors, to address technical challenges.
SYNTHETIC-BASED MUDS
Synthetic-Based Muds Enhance Environmental Compatibility
Regulations, stewardship policies, proximity to populated areas, and expanded disposal options are just a few reasons to consider synthetic-based muds. Invert emulsion drilling performance reduces days on location versus water-based options.
